2021 Barolo, Via Nuova, E. Pira - Chiara Boschis
Details
This wine represents a blend of fruit from various sites, and 15,000 bottles were created. Showing a classical profile, the E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2021 Barolo Via Nuova delivers a firm sense of inner fiber and richness with dark blueberry and black fruit. These aromas are enhanced by ethereal tones of blue flower and aniseed. The tannins are slightly more approachable in this wine compared to the Mosconi, but the intensity and richness of the mouthfeel is about the same. ~ (96) Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-30-2025

An intense Barolo with aromas of Parma violets, cinnamon, restrained blood oranges, cherries and licorice. Incredibly precise and defined. Full-bodied on the powerful and graceful palate, with velvety tannins and refreshing, lifted acidity. A lot of substance, with a crunchy style and balance. Long, licorice aftertaste. Best after 2027. ~ (96) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 1-8-2025
Barolo. Lustrous, youthful mid ruby. A core of perfumed cherry and raspberry with savoury, almost exotic spice touches. Supple, polished raspberry fruit, with beautiful, tactile tannins. Long and still a little embryonic. ~ (17) Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com 11-26-2024
All the parts come together nicely in the 2021 Barolo Via Nuova, which walks a fine line between depth and levity, with hints of mocha, blue fruit, black raspberries, and rocky soil. Medium-bodied, it’s already delicious, with refined but persistent tannins. ~ (95) Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com 5-13-2024
